I was kind of disappointed with how bad the yellow facemasks looked in games this season. When they announced them it was with the powder blue jerseys and done in some very-well balanced graphics from the social team that really made them pop.

But, in games -- especially when worn with the white jerseys, which for some reason they were electing to wear at home, the yellow looked really awkward.

Because the most dominant colour on the whites (other than white) is drab navy. The yellow/gold/saffron masks looked great anytime they were paired with the powder blues.

I suspect the new uniforms were designed around powder blue, and will feature powder blue more prominently on the white jerseys.

the yellow masks only looked good on the color rush uniforms because they had yellow numbers that tied the look in nicely...another thing about the color rush is that I think that shade of blue (light royal?) was by far the best representation of the original chargers blue...when they did throwbacks i think they got lazy and went with whatever reebok/ripon's stock columbia (e.g. oilers) which was much too light compared to the originals...the modern powder blue is even worse as it too close to cyan...I know it steps on the rams toes, but the color palette of the color rush is the best fit for the chargers in my opinion.

It's not the best fit because A. The fans prefer powder over everything else by a mile B. As you mentioned, the color rush is too close to the Rams.
